1/ THE ASTROLOGICAL HOW AND WHY OF THE MAYAN END DATE

Susan Seymour Hedke                                                                     

2008-12-20

On 21st December 2012, the Sun will cross the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere, bringing another solar year to an end, yet in this particular year many fear this could bring the "End of the World". There are a number of rumours of floods, storms, earthquakes and wars in other lands, famines are beginning. No one can deny that climate is changing and the disasters are real. 2012 is supposed to bring a number of terrible things, possible polar shift and consequent wavesof 2 kilometers in height.
The Mayan Prophecy is supposed to warn of a disastrous end, as does the Bible. Yet what do the heavens say? Could our ancient ancestors read something in the heavens that we have forgotten?
My own first step towards understanding why the Mayan Prophecy of a disastrous "end" coming in December, might be correct, came shortly after the Indian Ocean Earthquake and Tsunami on 26th December 2004, when I drew up its chart.

TSUNAMI2004c.jpgThe chart of the Indian Ocean Earthquake and Tsunami on 26th December 2004 at 7:58 local time, Banda Aceh.

 

What could have caused such a massive earthquake, and the deaths of a quarter of a million people? On this date the Moon was nearly full and opposite  not only the Sun but also Pluto. Also, at the time the earthquake occurred, there was a grand cross in the heavens involving the earth sign Capricorn, and its ruler Saturn. Because Saturn's sign was rising, he is the ruler of the whole chart. There was therefore a very strong earth influence in this chart, and the combined influence of the Great Malefic Saturn and destructive Pluto seemed  to be enough reason.

So at first I was satisfied that this chart was bad enough to explain the disturbance of the Earth on that day. 

However, as I continued to look at the charts of other  disasters,  I noticed that the Moon was often at the end of Gemini, as it had been in the case of the tsunami in 2004. There seemed to be no apparent reason for this.

Also the Sun seemed to be reacting in a hypersensitive manner when it crossed the date 26th December, as just one year before there had also been an earthquake with 43,000 deaths in Bam, Iran.

I sensed there must be more to all this than the eye could see. Remembering that I had read about a disastrous end to this age that would occur in December, I gave what I knew about this date into Google and it came up with an article by John Major Jenkins: "The How and Why of the Mayan End Date". 

Through the research of Linda Schele,  Mr. Jenkins had discovered that the Mayan Prophecy was connected to the position of the Galactic Centre: the galactic plane, on which the Galactic Centre sits was beginning to align with the winter solstice Sun, marking the end/ beginning point in a great cycle.

 Our relationship to the Galactic Centre has a cyclic wobble, it is a lot slower than the wobbly cycles between the Earth and the Sun, but nevertheless not completely unsimilar. the Galactic Centre is placed not far from the ecliptic along which the Sun moves,  therefore it's apparent motion could  be plotted like an extremely slow-moving Sun.

 The only difference was that instead of taking one year, the  wobble took about 26,000 years to complete. This was known in ancient times as the "Great Year" or the "Platonic Year". It was also the same length of time it took for the vernal precession to make one circuit.

 Ancient cultures like the Maya knew about the Great Year and the causal role played by the centre of our galaxy 26,000 light years away. We, who pride ourselves on being the cleverest and greatest civilization ever to have existed on Earth, seem to have let this very essential piece of information, just slip between our fingers and be forgotten.

Further search through the Web allowed me to interpret the position of the Galactic Centre in more exact astrological language.

 In 2010 the Galactic Centre will be at 27° Sagittarius, though other astronomers, and 2012 prophets, claim that in 2012 it will exactly align with the winter solstice Sun, they may be talking about the galactic plane. 

Astrologically the Sun passes over this position on the 19th December each year. Yet it is nevertheless extremely close now to the winter solstice and to entering Capricorn ruled by the planet Saturn that had seemed to be so involved in the earthquake of 2004.

 So, I added this galactic jewel to my chart. (large green circle).

Below: the missing piece of the puzzle added to the astrological chart of 26th December 2004. TSUNAMI2004gal2.gif.

.

One could see that the Galactic Centre was placed close to the winter solstice between the Sun in Capricorn and Pluto in Sagittarius and directly opposite the Moon. A sort of bow and arrow was formed shooting at the Galactic Centre. This I found interesting as the Sagittarius constellation is pictured as a centaur shooting a bow and arrow at the Galactic Centre too. 

sagcentaur.gifSagittarius the archer-centaur with his bow

 Is it possible, as Paul LaViolette in fact suggests, that an earlier, astrologically knowlegable culture, placed this constellation picture here to warn us of the danger of disaster connected to this area of the heavens?

Earthquakes may be major effects of this transit of the Galactic Centre over the winter solstice into Capricorn, but it turned out that the Galactic Centre was not specializing in one kind of disaster, but was associated with all of them.

Using my newly found discovery I began examining all the worst disasters in history: floods, hailstorms, volcanic eruptions, fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, stock market collapse, wars - everything I could get my hands on, and I found that the Galactic Centre was strongly implicated, often even pointed at with a similar bow and arrow.

 From about 2001, disasters began increasing, as if they were all set off by the World Trade Centre disaster[3]. So let us look at the chart of the 9/11 disaster, when the towers began to collapse: again we see  below right that same bow and arrow shot by the Moon pointed straight at the Galactic Centre.

This time it involved Pluto, Mars and the Nodes of the Moon, the Sun was in a loose T square. As you will soon notice, these aspects were no fluke, or wishful thinking on my part. I have literally thousands of charts worldtradecentre911.jpgin the big belly of my book to support the causal role of the Galactic Centre in these disasters

Right: the World Trade Center Disaster. 

The aspects ivolved in the 9/11 disaster led, one and a half years later, to the Iraq War. It began on 20th March 2003.

Saturn had moved to oppose the GC to shoot the arrow. Uranus and the Moon form the bow. War-like Mars had returned to conjunct the place it had been in the 9/11 disaster, it was conjunct the Galactic Centre.

Left: the Iraq War began 20th March 2003.

How

ever, let's not go too far from the Tsunami. What about comparing the tsunami of 2004 with another one? The last famous tsunami was caused by the eruption of the volcano Krakatau in 1883, just to the south of where the one in 2004 occurred. This tsunami of 1883 also caused over 33,000 deaths. Here is the chart[4] for the first major eruption.  I will not make a long commentary on each disaster but you may see that Krakatau showed the Moon with Mars shooting an arrow along the galactic equator at the Galactic Centre. Here again, as is usual, the Nodes of the Moon are involved. Here the North Node helps form the bow. 

Right: Pearl Harbor attacked 7th December 1941 18:19 GMTpearlh.gifpearlh.gif

 Pearl Harbour was attacked on 7th December 1941, early in the morning as the GC abnd the Sun were just rising together. This awoke the land to a fury that turned a war into a true World War that ended with much more terrible (atomic)bombings of Japan, in which of course the Galactic Centre was also involved.

What was the worst pandemic in history? The Black Death spread swiftly through Europe from June 1348. It was the aspects between the Galactic Centre, Pluto and Neptune that sustained its disastrous powers.

Let us return to the theme of earthquakes and look at the very largest recorded earthquake in history that occurred in Chile 1960.

Earthquake Chile 22nd May 1960

 As in most cases, it involved Pluto in aspect to the Galactic Centre and it created six bows and arrows, three pointing at the earth signs for the earthquakes and three bows and arrows pointing at the water signs for the accompanying tsunami.

The years up to 2013 produce regular bows and arrows earthqchile60.gifto the GC and Pluto, especially in December.

 




Comparing the Past to the Coming Years

We have seen that bows and bows and arrows can be quite lethal, especially when there are a number of them as in the Star of David aspect. But in the next years Stars of David will be few, as most of the planets are on the winter side of the chart, so that it will be left mostly the Moon to  shoot the bow and arrow, and again and again that is what we see, a bow is formed to he winter solstice area where the Galactic centre and Pluto are placed, so that all the powers oft he heavens are focused on this one point  of omega and alpha, tomb and womb oft he galaxy. 

The other factors that must be included are the grand cross, especially when it is on the Holy Cross, or alternatively said, when it is close to the solstice-vernal axies. A T square can be as explosive as TNT. Most explosive of all are T squares involving the anyway explosive Mars, or his sign. But what particularly suggests a world disaster?

Krakatau with its massive explosion, heard thousands of miles away, had a T square involving the Moon, Mars, Uranus and the Galactic Centre. hiroshima2.gifHiroshima showed a T square and one bow, not a lot really, yet the bow pointed at Pluto in Leo conjunct the Sun, whose symbol is the same as the symbol for the atom, and the Nodes of the Moon were on the galactic plane involved in the T square with Uranus, Mars, Venus and Neptune. So we see that ,as with many of the earlier disasters, all of the outer bodies were involved with Hiroshima and afflicting the inner bodies and signs. As to the kind of disaster we can expect, look to the place where the heavenly bodies are placed - in the case of Hiroshima, Pluto in Leo is emphasized for an explosion that mimicked the Sun.

 Left: Hiroshima 6th August 1945 8:15 JST showsa T square and bow to Pluto in Leo with the Sun.

 Uranus in the air sign Gemini was also involved, telling us that the diaster came unexpectedly through the air.It is important to consider T squares now,  as it will be the T square involving Uranus in Pisces ( water) and then Uranus in Aries (fire) to the GC and Pluto on the Holy Cross, that tells us how and from where  the disasters will come. The T square of Uranus from Aries to Pluto in Capricorn involving the Galactic Centre is quite a new kind of danger for the world. It has been enabled only once in the last 26,000 years as the Galactic Centre nears the solstice on the last Pluto transit into Capricorn from January to April 1762.

Then it lasted for a few months that changed the course of history by reversing the Seven Year War etc. Now this aspect will last for eight years (on and off).An example of a water disaster triggered by Uranus in Pisces square Pluto and the GC occurred also back on the last transit of Pluto to the GC. On this date there was also a loose Star of David involving again three earth and three water signs. The 8.7 earthquake off the coast by Lisbon on All Saints Day 1755 and the resulting tsunami caused the deaths of around 90,000 people. It has been often compared to the tsunami in December 2004, which indeed also involved Uranus in Pisces (but in a sextile -60° -a partial bow) and the Galactic Centre conjunct Pluto.

We have not yet experienced a tsunami caused by the square of Uranus in Pisces to the GC and Pluto, but we will. earthqLiSBONlast.gifNow Uranus is moving into square and often into a T square aspect to the GC and Pluto when the Moon or other body, like Jupiter in 2013, adds its position near the summer solstice. Often it is possible for the T square to form involving Saturn (earth) and other bodies at the autumn equinox area.

These aspects all fall on the Holy Cross. This is an extremely explosive situation and I suspect could cause changes in the Earth’s rotation rate and a polar shift.In 2009 the danger is largely through water (also ice and snow) as Uranus is in Pisces), yet 2009 has one saving seen against the background of such disasters as the Lisbon All Saints Day earthquake: the Nodes of the Moon are only minimally involved. However, 2010 is a much more difficult year as the Nodes cross the galactic axis.

 I sometimes wonder if the Mayans got it wrong, because from superficial observation the years 2010, 2011 and 2013 are much more dangerous in many ways than 2012 appears to be.

Still, I think we must consider these four years from December 2009  to  December 2013 as the window in which the major apocalyptic transition will be accomplished.

 2009

Let us begin by looking at a few charts of 2009oct.gifthe year 2009, but each year is also looked at in more detail in my weather forecast for the years 2009 to 2013 (coming soon).

Generally the last months of the following years tend to be the worst and in October.

This chart of October 9th 2009 shows a grand cross involving Saturn, the Galactic Centre, Pluto, Uranus and the Moon and it falls on the Holy Cross, which is thought to be indicative of major Great Year transformations. It only forms twice in the Great Year cycle, once every 13,000 years approximately.

Left: chart of 9th October 2009

There is also a bow and arrow to Saturn involving Mars and the South Node, and another bow and arrow to Pluto and the GC at the winter solstice, created by the Sun, Jupiter with Chiron and Neptune and the Moon shoots the arrow. Although the Moon is not full here, it is possible that this aspect could cause earthquakes, water and climate disasters as also hurricane-like storms and financial damages.

Here a moon cycle later, in November 2009,2009nov.gif the grand cross is no longer as perfect as it was, but still two lethal T square exist involving the GC and Pluto at the same time a bow and arrow is created by the Moon, Venus and Jupiter with Neptune and Chiron. As this involves the air signs it may be a storm- a hurricane or similar that causes the damage, but certainly there will be concommitant floods and water damages in many places. Fires may also break out as Mars is in the fire sign Leo opposite the bodies in Aquarius.

Right: 5th November 2009

 Still, as here the Moon aspects both Uranus in Pisces and Jupiter and Neptune the two rulers of the water sign Pisces, whose trine to another helped cause the flooding in New Orleans and the Tsunami in 2004, we can be sure that water will again play its role here, though hopefully not in such a dramatic manner.

 December 2009. As usual December will cause a number of earthquakes as Pluto2009dec26.gif in Capricorn conjuncts the GC and the Sun activates the Earth's labour contractions as it moves through the womb of the galaxy at the winters solstice of the Great Year.

Left: 26th December 2009

This year the 26th December shows a fire influence with Moon in Aries and Mars in Leo suggesting volcanic activity, but the bow and arrow created here point at Neptune conjunct Chiron and Jupiter. Neptune, Jupiter and the Moon are in aspect by nearly all water disasters, inclusive tsunamis, so a tsunami or other water disaster would be possible this December when the Moon is also in aspect to Jupiter and Neptune.

2008 was considered the worst year for natural disasters (by München Re) alongside 2005 and 1995. The year 2010 will likely be much worse, bringing one disaster after another. Warlike activity will also increase at the same time.

Centre and Pluto. These two are joined increasingly by the North Node of the Moon, which aligns with the galactic plane in 2010-11. This has produced many of the very worst disasters in history.

Saturn is opposite Uranus and Jupiter and square Pluto and the GC with the Nodes. This is in strength for months. Saturn is most of the time in a grand cross involving his own sign of Capricorn which maeans war and the Moon's passing over the Summer solstice each moth will make things worse.

All these bodies are on the Holy Cross of the Great Year cycle. Also at this time Neptune is with Chiron and Lilith involved in a half bow to the Galactic centre, Pluto and the North Node. The half bow may be completed to create a full bow by the passing Sun, Moon or other body in Libra. Heavenly bodies in Aries can cause a simultaneous bow to Neptune to form at these times floods, tsunamis, 2010solsimularor.jpg storms and water disasters generally.

Left is a picture of our solar system on 26th June 2010 and one sees how Jupiter Uranus on one side of the Sun and Saturn in opposition on the other are all in one line . So this is not just  a grand cross affecting our Earth or a piece of paper but a strong alignment affecting the whole solar system. Pluto and Galactic Centre are to the right and the Galactic Anti-Centre would be out to the left where Orion, Sirius and the Pleiades are placed.a wre more likely.

Here, the 30th September 2010, the storms and earthquakes and war caused by the grand cross may be nearly over for a while, as Saturn moves out of the grand cross.
2010sept30.gif
In December the grand cross with Saturn is no longer a danger as Saturn is no longer in aspect, the war may be less intense, and the problems generally may ease but the T square involving the Nodes is getting more exact, one of the nodes is in Saturn's sign, with Pluto and Uranus with Jupiter is in aspect, so it is still a dangerous time.
Left: 2010dec29.gif29th December 2010
Again and again through all these years the bow and arrow points at the Galactic Centre and Pluto at the winter solstice or midnight point of the chart and of the Great Year cycle. All the energy is going down the drain into this abyss to its origin, all that we have created and that seemed good will have its roots sorely tested.

2011

If we thought 2008 was bad, and 2009 and 2010 were worse, then look below at the charts of 2011, this year should be really a straining to the limits. 2011june21.jpgIn 2011 the Nodes remain on the galactic axis and destructivity will increase towards the end of the year. On June 21st 2011 there is a grand cross involving Saturn as well as a Star of David.

 But by far the most dangerous part of it occurs in the last months as Saturn moves swiftly from its opposition to Uranus in the Holy Cross to complete a powerful bow to Neptune. This bow is very weighty and points at the Galactic Centre and Pluto at the winter solstice still close to the Nodes.

 October seems to be the worst month of that year and it is so bad that I should consider changing my book title: the waves coming in October 2011 might be worse than anything happening in December 2012.

 In 2011 Jupiter's prescence in the earth sign Taurus could give the necessary extra strength for a world shaking earthquake. October 21st is a d2011BiblicalEnd.jpgate that some Christians see as an End date and that looks petty bad and also potentially volcanic or explosive but the last days of October are worse and it is interesting that a Johannes Calleman suggested that 28th October might be the disastrous End Date of the Mayan Long Count as it is 13 Ahau. (See Calleman's page for a discussion of the reasons).

 This was one of the worst dates I have found for a possible disaster and came upon it as a dangerous date quite independently of Calleman.

The T square also of bodies in Scorpio and the Star of David at this time make it certain that on this day some disaster will occur and the days close to it also look none too happy - Scorpio should be involved in an End Date. Scorpio is the sign of death and when the Sun is in this sign aspecting the winter solstice and Saturn is close, disaster can not be far away.2011endcreation.gif

28th October 2011

THE END OF CREATION

While studying the planetary aspects involved in volcanoes I made the discovery (In my book) that the few degrees junction between Venus' sign and Mars' sign Aries/ Taurus and Libra/ Scorpio, as also aspects between these two planets, and the Nodes were involved by the eruption of volcanoes. These are all given at the end of October and as on the 21st October 2011 the Moon conjuncts Mars which is a very explosive sign also involved by volcanoes and the Moon was conjunct Mars by the violent eruption of Krakatau in 1883. Also on 21st October it is in the fire sign Leo and on the 28th Moon squares Mars. This certainly could be a volcanic End Date- perhaps even one qualifying as an ekpyrosis. But there are more such aspects at other times and I suspect that this is just the beginning of a volcanic period.

The Stars continue in November and December suggesting an intensively destructive period, much more so, I believe, than in 2012.2011hancknov24star.jpg

Graham Hancock, author of Fingerprints of the Gods suggested the date 24th December 2011 for a possible polar shift and tidal wave.

He based it on the heavenly bodies being nearly all positioned on one side of the Earth, I believe. 

The whole period at the end of 2011 does look disastrous especially from October to December . Left shows what the heavens look like on 24th November 2011.

What is also highly significant is that, apart from the Nodes being involved, Jupiter and Saturn have moved into opposition. Jupiter and Saturn are involved in all the greatest events in history. THERE COULD NOT BE AN EVENT AS IMPORTANT AS THE END OF THE WORLD WITHOUT JUPITER AND SATURN IN SOME MAJOR ASPECT TO EACH OTHER. Here they are also still loosely on the Holy Cross of the Great Year and often in the cardinal signs. They cross opposite each other the two sensitive points I have found by volcanic eruptions. The Jupiter Lilith conjunct that lasts on and off over a year, and also is there in December 2012 bodes no good either.2011nov13.jpg Lilith played a major role conjunct Saturn in the grand cross of the tsunami in 2004. Here the placing in Aries could cause fires getting out of control, volcanic eruptions and meteors poisons or darkness falling from or over the sky. This is also probable in 2012 when the conjunction is in Gemini, sign of the heavens. I could call the border where the two great weights of the planets are placed as the creation/ destruction borderline. A massive volcanic eruption with accompanying earthquakes could cause a polar shift and tidal waves. Yet in many ways the end of October, when the Sun also lines up on this frame of the giant planets looks more destructive to me. Still, there are other dates in November that also look dangerous to me.2011nov13.jpg But what about December?

2011dec16b.gifThe Star is also formed in December as Saturn and Jupiter remain in aspect to the slower moving outer bodies: Neptune, Pluto and also the Galactic Centre. So for three months we may be suffering from earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods and possibly tsunami, as here at the end of 2011 Jupiter and Neptune also aspect each other. Here on the 16th the Moon turns the quare from Uranus in Aries intoa T square to irritate those sleeping giants, the volcanoes.

 

The opposition between Jupiter and Saturn, which in 2010 had involved the solstice and vernal axis angles, as also the planets Uranus, Pluto and the GC, will likely set a ball in motion that by the end of 2011 when the Jupiter Saturn opposition returns may be irreversible.

 2010solsimularor.jpg

 

I suspect that 2010 will have caused underwater volcanoes, maybe in the Indian Ocean and volcanoes at the poles as well, that will cause the oceans to warm at a dramatic rate and many areas of the polar ice to melt faster. This in turn will cause climate change and storms. By the end of 2011 and into 2012 the volcanoes may be erupting also on land and there will be increasingly large earthquakes. That is what I suspect, but let us have a look at 2012.


What will 20124sep.gif2012 bring? 20124sep.gif

The whole year is difficult, with recurring grand crossess and stars, I am not sure if it is worse than 2011, but the continuing strain on the Earth may cause worse effects like a prolonged sickness. In each month I find dates which look quite frightening, especially March 2012 where  a bow and arrow points at Neptune now in Pisces and the Sun moves to conjunct Uranus in Aries, April shows a grand cross. In May Jupiter moves out of aspect to Saturn but there are still powerful bows and arrows. The 21st July shows a grand cross T square and a Star of David and so on. But I will give the first chart  in September of 2012 and we see that Pluto is still conjunct the Galactic Centre and that  the next outermost body, Neptune, is aspecting them both from the beginning of the water sign Pisces. This is a new kind of aspect and could produce the worst flooding in memory.

 

Right: 4th September 2012

2012oct7.gif

 

 

The other outer planet Uranus is in a T square in the picture on the left. Uranus too remains in square to the GC and Pluto. Saturn also is in aspect to the GC and on this day, forming a bow with Neptune.The Star of David is largely in earth and water signs, so it may cause earthquakes, floods and other water disasters. Saturn in air and the Sun and Mercury involved in the Star of David suggest a hurricane or cyclonic storm. But still I consider the gravest danger is from Uranus in Aries in square to Pluto and the GC which square has been going on since before 2010 and in Aries is a completely new experience for us. It suggests volcanic eruptions, square Pluto in earth, with great earthquakes, and also social unrest and accidents through war, or explosions.Either a man made explosion or a volcanic one are the most likely events from this square. Saturn is a cold planet and affects northerly zones, so there may be difficulties in northern zones and through temperature changes and sudden swings to cold weather.

Above left the chart for October 7 2012 shows a grand cross and a Star Of David involving the Galactic Centre and Pluto. So far the last months of 2012 look just as destructive as 2011 where Saturn was also in the bow with Neptune to the GC, Pluto. Neptune is now in Pisces which means that greater waves may be caused by the earthquakes of Saturn and the water involved may be ice cold or have some other Saturnian quality, like being poisoned with lead.2012nov29.gif

 2012oct7.gif
29th November 2012

At the end of November that strange Yod form involving Jupiter and Saturn forms. It remains and is also prominent on the 21st December. I would interpret this aspect as Jupiter shooting a thunderbolt at the two underworld winter signs, it looks very destructive and  because winter signs are involved and here Mars is conjunct Pluto in a bow from Saturn and Neptune, this could really be a point marking an end and perhaps the beginning of a Great Winter.

Jupiter conjunct Lilith in the Gemini sign of the heavens may represent some poison or evil coming through the sky, perhaps a volcanic cloud, and Jupiter may represent the end time eruption I suspect that will lead to the new Heaven and the new Earth and the rise of Meru.20126dec.gif

Still it is likely not all over yet, for the aspects continue and in 2013 there is a further last dramatic change which will likely lead as Jupiter moves into Cancer in a bow and arrow to the GC and Pluto to a tsunami, possibly caused by the eruption of a volcano in the Indonesian Indian Ocean area.

At the end of December the bows and arrows point mostly at Pluto associated with the Underworld and with great transformations, especially in the earth- so earth changes. If there is anything positive about this time then it is that the cracking up of our material woröd may shake our hearts awake and free our souls from an imprisonment that has caused a long history of suffering.

 

 

 

 

 

2013 will bring the climax of this intensly transformative period and some charts of 2013 are still to be  given.
